Nate Wert contributed to the RoboJackets/robocup-software repository by developing a straight-line testing executable that integrates with the existing build and test workflow. Leveraging C++, Bash scripting, and Makefile automation, he enabled controlled straight-line validation in both simulation and real-time environments, reducing test setup time and improving reproducibility for control logic validation. Later, Nate modernized the build system by refactoring the project to use Colcon for ROS 2, updating CMakeLists.txt files, renaming directories, and standardizing include paths. This work improved maintainability and consistency across packages, streamlining onboarding and supporting faster iteration for the development team.
September 2025 monthly summary for RoboJackets/robocup-software: Key delivery was Build System Modernization: Colcon Refactor for ROS 2 projects, standardizing builds across packages.

January 2025: Delivered a new Straight-Line Testing executable integrated into the RoboJackets/robocup-software build and test workflow. The executable can be launched via Makefile targets and is wired into the framework Bash script and soccer launch file, enabling controlled straight-line validation in both simulation and real-time modes. This work reduces test setup time, improves reproducibility, and accelerates validation of control logic.
